Cellular automata? Yeah...that is a wild algo. I find it amazing how it emulates the shapes and behaviours of natural systems yet without invoking chaos theory, fractals or a markov chain like form(or L-systems or whatever).
Cellular Automata and A* pathing still kinda amazes me.

Amazing guest, wonderful questions, beautiful dialog :)❤

I think we need to go back to r² and the three dimensional physics of the Inverse Square Law, even back to Huygens’ Principle of 1670. The Universe could be based on the most simple geometry 4πr² that forms the potential for evermore complexity. Forming not just physical complexity, but also the potential for evermore-abstract mathematics. It might be ‘cool’ but it stops us finding a fundamental theory.

What is this concept of reversibility being required for physics? You can't reverse what fire does to wood, therefore it's not how physics works?

[@FAILG0AT]

The idea is 'if its true that fire is irreversible, the generation of a model of physics to explain this phenomena should not be found to be reversible.'

Tf is with these bots? 😂

WHAT are they talking about?...wait, don't tell me...

I'm so impressed you would have a guy with a small jaw on your show lex.
